Title- Looking into camber arms because I'm sitting at -2.6* rear camber and I want better tire wear! Are $80 arms going to cut it?

I am running cheap ebay arms, have a nice set sitting in the shop in case these cause an issue but in 3 months they have been fine
Nerp Tech are pretty bullet proof for $190 can’t beat them.

The Nerp tech ones put the adjustment on the inner joint that is impossible to reach. May as well just get eBay ones if you’re gonna deal with that. Get Turners if you want a decent set that’s easy to adjust.
I have some old UUC rear camber arms that have held up great for just being a bushing on the inside.
I had two sets of Ebay arms that the inner hiem wore out after 1 season

I have these ebay ones and they are beefy. I can't really imagine them failing, but would prefer the camber arm to be the failure point over subframe / trailing arm if I hit something anyways.
I just threw megan racing ones on last weekend. They fit fine and got them for 90 shipped. Eyeballed the rear camber and it definitely adjusted close to enough with more there. Was at -4 before so I'm hoping I can get to 0 or at least close to 0 with these
I use the turner motorsport ones, no issues in 3 years
ooh makes the replacements worthwhile. IMO get whatever is the cheapest with heim joints. Don't get anything with poly or rubber as it'll bind. I priced out making my own at like $90. Almost doesn't seem worth it.

Hey guys, are you all able to zero out your rear camber with your mentioned arms?

my rear camber is at 0 with my SPC arms
I was able to get mine to 0 with megan arms, wasn't able to keep it there because of the toe but there was enough adjustment in the arm to 0 the camber out
My ebay arms got me to -1 in the rear with plenty more adjustment range. They have held up well with almost a full summer of pretty hard use. I am going to keep them on the car till they shit the bed
^^ Yeah my modified pockets alone weren't enough, I think I'll see how much I can get with slotting the adjustment holes a bit too, but was able to go from -4.5 to -1.5 while keeping the toe 0 and the difference is massive
I'm at 3/4" toe in with 0 camber on the TMS arms and offset RTAB bushings, but my car isn't low as I am trying to maximize the anti-squat effect.
Being super low is fun until you see an inch of toe out with the factory parts adjusted as far as they will go haha
Nova- Mind taking a pic of your rear end, to see how low you are? I don't think I'm that low, but I could see how some people think I would be.

It's hard to tell in photos. I parked next to a bone stock e46 the other day and I was level with if not 1/2" higher than stock.
1/8inch in, or out? Hopefully in! I might just raise my car up and do lower arms. I don't want to spend the money on upper arms and converting to a true rear coil, sounds expensive. But I hate watching guys out there in the same class as me, with 50 more hp, going through 1/4 the amount of tires I do!
